The Early Days
Mystery Man
Not much information is available about Roadblock's childhood, and he has shown little interest in sharing these details publicly. That has not, however, stopped the media from speculating.
As legend has it, Roadblock never experienced traditional kittenhood; instead, many believe that he was born as he is today, fully-grown, weighing in at an impressive 21 pounds (see: image right). Other sources postulate that Roadblock was not born to a live mother at all, but was instead spawned into being by a higher power. Roadblock's ethereal nature lends credence to this theory.
What We Do Know
As revealed by an anonymous source which described themselves as a close friend, Roadblock hails from New Jersey - a state from which he is now banned (see: Well-Known Achievements). Our anonymous source's first interaction with Roadblock occurred during the Great Snowfall of 1977, a time before snowshovels or plow trucks had been invented. New Jersey saw 13 feet of snow that year.
Noticing our source struggle to open their front door following the snowfall, Roadblock inhaled deeply and exhaled a breath so powerful that it melted all 13 feet of snow in our source's front lawn, thus allowing them to use their front door again. Their yard immediately flash-flooded and required extensive reconstruction, but our source expresses deep gratitude towards Roadblock for his heroic actions. This individual can be quoted as saying, "Roadblock saved my life that day. I'm so totally grateful!"
This is the earliest recorded instance of Roadblock's philantropic endeavors.
